If you were to ask Yankees fans how the team was doing, even considering Friday’s victory over the Tigers, I’m sure the response would be less than enthusiastic. The relief pitching has been awful, key players have been injured, and Giancarlo Stanton has yet to truly heat up. Yet if you consider the offense, which pertains to those points on injuries and Stanton, they are actually performing in the top tier in the league. Here is where they rank among the major offensive categories:
- HR: 7th
- BB%: 6th
- K%: 20th
- OPS: 6th
- wRC+: 7th
I don’t know how you could complain!
